Bridging the Digital Divide…One Classroom At A Time<\/h3>

The Leap Forward Program (TLFP) is a project that aims to teach & train, within the next 5 years,\u00a0at least 250,000 students from designated K-thru-12 institutions in and around the Monrovia, Liberia, the basics of computers and technology education via a STEM-PBL (Science Technology Engineering & Math Project Based Learning) based Information Technology skills program to aid them in their studies and also in preparation for their future careers in technology in the West African sub-region.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Leap Forward Project (TLFP) is a non-profit organization\u00a0based in the US. Its main focus is on serving disadvantaged and educationally underserved communities internationally.<\/span><\/p>\n

TLFP was established in 2015 in the USA by well-meaning technology professionals and philanthropic hearted sponsors who believe in the dream of impacting an entire generation of young people in underserved, 3rd<\/sup> world communities riven by poverty and the lack of access to quality information technology training. TLFP plans to have a major impact on the youth in these communities, bringing computer and information technology skills to those without the knowledge or ability to access qualified training resources focused on information technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through the introduction of STEM-PBL based methodologies and paradigms, the primary objective of TLFP is to serve as a bridge for existing K thru 12 institutions that have the desire to offer their student populations exposure to such training but cannot afford to do so because of a lack of funding, a lack of trained personnel, a lack of infrastructure and a lack of direction in this highly necessary field of study. TLFF is committed toward bridging the digital divide through its efforts to implement these programs through its services and support.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
